Choose the voting method that works for you. Deadlines depend on that method. Check the time and delivery requirements, not just the date. Military, overseas, and emergency voting may have separate rules.
01
Register
Register online with an eligible Indiana credential, or submit a paper application. Regular registration closes October 5. Recent-mover and military/overseas exceptions are not general same-day registration.
In-person registration deadline
Submit your application by the registration office’s close of business.
By 4 p.m., certain voters who moved within Indiana less than 30 days before the election may request a transfer to vote once at their former precinct. A qualifying affidavit may also be completed at the former polling place on Election Day; this is not general same-day registration.
Absentee-by-mail voting requires a qualifying reason, such as age 65 or older, disability, or a qualifying absence. Early in-person voting does not require a mail-voting excuse. Follow the application’s identification requirements.
Absentee-by-mail application deadline
The request must be received by 11:59 p.m. local time. Mail voting requires a qualifying reason.
Eligible military and overseas voters may submit the FPCA for registration or an update by 11:59 p.m. This special deadline is separate from the ordinary mail-ballot request deadline.
November 3, 2026. Poll hours: 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. local time. Check your official ballot, voting location, and identification requirements before you go.
Date labels compare calendar dates in Eastern time; “Today” does not mean the cutoff time has not passed. Confirm local times with your election office.
Before You Vote
Key voting questions
How can I find my polling location?
Use the Indiana election office lookup or contact your local election office before Election Day.
Indiana voter information lookup
Use Indiana’s voter information resource to review your personal voting information.
Indiana's current statewide calendar includes Indiana General Election 2026 on November 3, 2026. Local ballots may include additional races, questions, or measures.
Voters request one party’s primary ballot. Indiana’s party-affiliation rules consider support for that party’s nominees in the last general election and intent for the next; a voter who did not vote in the last general election may qualify based on intent. See the official manual for the challenge procedure.
